Unacceptable poor service

I’ve been struggling to make payment for a car hire for two days. On the 26 January 25, I spent 20 plus minutes with my banker trying to remove a block on my card as the merchant was flagged. The initial payment went eventually through . Today I’m over an hour at the car hire spent another 35 minutes on the phone with Thembilise from the card unit only to be told that the merchant is blacklisted and needs to be whitelisted. I have to call back in 20 minutes. Unacceptable, frustrating as I look like a fool as other customers are trying to get their vehicles. I’m disappointed in the card division

An apology is unacceptable as I have to use my wife’s credit card and pay an extra R460 to be recorded as an extra driver. Standard Bank is responsible for the extra amount due to incompetence
